| - I was wandering down Queen Street looking for a place to eat on my first business trip to Toronto in many years. Gotta say that the City is looking good! World class! Great work for all involved. My compliments.
My stomach started to growl as I walked past Trimurti. Not knowing anything about the dining in downtown, but liking Indian cuisine, the impulse overcame me and I went in.
Good decision.
The place is narrow and deep, with well dressed tables on either wall, and the kitchen in the rear. A waiter led me to a deuce towards back, as the room was about a third full. The aromas had my salivarys off the hook with the combination of curry, tumeric and garlic. I ordered an Indian Beer and checked the menu. I was dining alone, and did not want too much left over to carry back to the hotel, so I went with Chicken Jalifrezi, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Basmati Rice.
As some others here have commented, everything was excellently presented and tasty. I love Mango Lassis and order them at every occasion. This one was very good, but not over generous in size. The Garlic Naan was wonderful, and I used every morsel of it to sop up the creamy delicious Jalifrezi Sauce. The chunks of chicken breast and thigh were tender and played so well in my mouth with the other ingredients.
Bottom line - I walked back to the hotel a sated (perhaps, over-sated) and happy guy. I knew I would return to Trimurti again.
Why not 5 stars? The prices were higher than I am used to for good Indian food (although the exchange rate could have something to do with that), and the Lassi glass was too quickly empty.
